- makuto 6y agoIt looks like Cakelisp for Rust! I'll have to look at it in more depth. Thanks for the link!
- anentropic 6y agoI have not used it but I think is not written for performance in the same way that Cakelisp appears to be: https://gamelisp.rs/reference/performance-figures.html#benchmarks https://gamelisp.rs/reference/performance-figures.html#bench... It seems more intended for scripting glue code in a Rust project
- fleabitdev 6y agoHello! I'm the developer of GameLisp :) You're correct that I've chosen safety and convenience over performance. I might eventually consider integrating the Cranelift code generator to try to achieve LuaJIT-like performance, but it's definitely not on the short-term roadmap. In practice, I find that GameLisp is more than fast enough to script a busy 2D platformer, as long as you're sensible about using Rust for the more CPU-intensive parts of your game engine. Incidentally, I'm planning to release GameLisp 0.2 within the next few days - happy to field any other questions while I'm here!
